All checks or money orders should be sent to and made payable to Harvey Inman., FANFARE—assorted items According to TV GUIDE, the BAC television network is continuing plans for that science fiction series for the I963-6I4. seasons. It was origi­ nally supposed to be called "Please Stand By,'* then the title was chan­ ged to "Beyond Control," and now it has been named "Outer Limits,11 It will apparently have a new drama each program, in the manner of "Twi­ light Zone," instead of running serials, Robert and Juanita Coulson (Route 3, Wabash, Indiana) will do your mimeo work for you for a fee. This fee will have to be worked out personally with the Coulsons and will vary according to the work involved. This service will even be carried to the extent of stamping, addressing, and mailing when desired. Buck says he can also probably get you a new raimeo at a discount from the list price. The machines are made by Vari-Color and sell for a reasonable price. The .Sears mimeo which the Coulsons used to publish-YANDRO for nine years was made by Vari-Color. And for what it is worth, FFF is currently reproduced on a Vari-Color, (Yes, I do give free plugs when I ajn in the mood.) Harry Warner, Jr, alleges that he has now started the actual writing on his long-awaited fan history on an every-day basis. He doubts anyone will believe this report, however, since he has predicted the start so many times in the past. The new FAPA mailing was only 2^3 pages in size, but more, is on the way. To be postiaailod are at least five publications which arrived too late for the bundle, including the egoboo poll results and the last FAPA contribution from Phyllis Economou, who is resigning from the organi­ zation for lack of time, Larry Shaw is leaving Chicago and Regency Books and returning East as an editor for Lancer Books. The change will be made in late June, Lynn Hickman, who has practically dropped out of sight of fandom for a whilo, is reportedly in training to manage stores for Sears-Roebuck* He spent a month stationed near South Bend, Indiana, and had a get- together with Betty Kujawa while there. He is now supposed to be in Norwalk, Ohio, in care of general delivery for a month or so, "The Tin Drum" by Gunter Grass is the current Book of the Month Club fiction alternate, one of the rare books with a fantasy theme to be selected. It is a long combination of fantasy, farce, and satire about an amoral superman. The hero supposedly symbolizes the German people, or the worst things about the Gorman people. It has already boen widely acclaimed in Germany and France. The author is a young man from Danzig, now living in Berlin. # page 2 I HE FANZINE FIELD by Hike Deckinger HAU1TTED #1 (quarterly, £0^, Samuel D, Russell, 201oA 21st Street, Santa Monica, California) In his editorial, Saia explains that IIAul’TED will be devoted to serious and constructive examinations in the weird-super­ natural -horror genre, emulating the paths blazed by THE ACOLYTE and FAfTASY COMMENTATOR. This issue bears no trace of the adolescent poli­ cies which marked the various regrettable fanzines of the FAMOUS MOB­ STERS crowd, whose knowledge of fandom has been as limited as their knowledge of how to publish a good fanzine. The cover of HAUNTED is an extremely good lithographed graveyard scene, and the contents is of a consistently high calibre, Robert Bloch writes an optimistically prophetic article foreseeing a resurgence in fantasy in the various mediums. Some of the points he advances are blunted by the non-compli­ ance of reality, but he does state enough feasible suppositions to make me wonder if perhaps he isn't right. I tend to adopt the pessimist's viewpoint on matters like this. HAUNTED is not worth just yet, not for 17 pages of sketchy lithography and identifiable hand dram headings that tend to impart a decidedly juvenile look to the zinc. But it is worth something, definitely. AXE 2nd Annish (monthly, ^2,00 a year, Larry and Moreen Shaw, 123^ Oak Avenue, Evanston, Illinois) Still maintaining its image as a chatty genzine, AXE celebrates its second annish with a good printed cover and a nice tinted inside headin,';, A printed filler on the first page anno- ounces that Earl Kemp (of CHICOH and A TRIP TO HELL FAME) is the father of a son. Some spotty news items, a couple genuinely new to me are followed by the final installment of Dick Lupoff's fanzine review column, in which he gives the unsettling prediction that the numerous fringe fandoms (monster fandom, Burroughs fandom, comic fandom, etc., etc,) that have always remained at the periphery of fandom, intruding in small palatable doses, will overtake fandom as we know it. This alteration is not something I look foreward to with much eagerness* a short interlude with comic book and satire fandom has convinced me that this branch has as much chance of registering an influential position as a Republican in a Russian election, Bhob Stewart perceptively analyzes the non-fantasy, but highly experimental French film "Zazis," which conclusively proves that I overlooked several cogent interpre­ tations when I first saw it. He hints that Bloch may not have been the chief culprit responsible for the recent "Caligori" film. My secret sources say that a different ending was first composed by Bloch, in which the logical premises aro abruptly refuted at the end by Caligari reverting to his former presence in the midst of the asylum. However, the powers that be ruling Hollywood turned thumbs down on the idea, basing their refusal on some predictably inane contentions, and thus the film was made with the clinical “surprise" ending. Walt Willis has covered everything up to his departure for Chicago so far in his untitled trip report. His initial bout with Greyhound is beautifully detailed here. page 3 1 THE FANZINE FIELD, continued THE LINDSAY REPORT ($L.OO; Ethel Lindsay, Courage House, 6 Langely Ave., Surbiton, Surrey, England, or Ron Ellik, 182^ Greenfield Ave., Los Angeles, California) I night as well admit it* I like a good travel/ con report, not only for the supplemental'information that I can add to my own knowledge of’the event if attended, but for the candid observa­ tions of the author, who inevitably seeks to impart his/her enthusiasm to the readers via the printed page, That’s why Ethel’s report is a good one.

(I suppose you could call this a "fix-up" bibliography since it is the melding of previously "published" material into a new unified whole. And, in the true van Vogtian tradition, I've not only revised it but I've given it a new title as well.) The last versions of both are still available for download as a single ZIP file for those who would like them for whatever reason. The format of the Compendium has been retained with only a few alterations while adding the bibliographic information of the Database. A section for short stories has accordingly been added. The ugly and outdated Database is eliminated, while retaining all of its positive traits, and the usefulness of the Compendium is drastically improved. No longer will you have to jump between the two while looking something up — all information has been pooled into just one document. This new format's interface is more intuitive, alphabetically arranged rather than chronological, and with all items thoroughly cross- indexed with internal hyperlinks.

The Importance of August Derleth as Editor and Publisher IV. Description and Calendar of the Arkham House Archive I. A BRIEF HISTORY OF ARKHAM HOUSE In 1939 a promising Midwestern mainstream novelist and a popular Midwestern writer of pulp fiction co- founded a small press to publish a hardbound book to preserve the writing and perpetuate the memory of their dearly departed friend and mentor, Howard Phillips Lovecraft. Arkham House was officially in business when August Derleth and Donald Wandrei signed the George Banta Publishing Company's "Proposal for Printing" THE OUTSIDER AND OTHERS by H. P. Lovecraft dated 25 August 1939. 1268 copies of this "landmark in the history of weird fiction and American publishing" (Joshi) were printed and most were sold for $5.00 each (then a high list price for a book of fiction). THE OUTSIDER AND OTHERS was the first of three projected volumes of Lovecraft's works Arkham House planned to publish. Derleth and Wandrei (with the considerable assistance of Robert H. Barlow) compiled a second omnibus volume, BEYOND THE WALL OF SLEEP, published in 1943, which was followed by MARGINALIA a lesser so-called "stop-gap" volume published in 1944 to satisfy readers until Lovecraft's letters could be located, transcribed and edited (the envisioned single volume of letters was ultimately expanded to five). In the beginning neither Derleth nor Wandrei intended to publish books by any writer except Lovecraft, but at the suggestion of William C.

    AN EXHIBITION OF ITEMS FROM THE SHERLOCK HOLMES COLLECTIONS JUNE 13 – SEPTEMBER 30, 2016 ELMER L. ANDERSEN LIBRARY GALLERY UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA—WEST BANK CAMPUS ST 222 21 AVENUE SOUTH MINNEAPOLIS, MN 55455 THE MISADVENTURES OF SHERLOCK HOLMES This exhibit is inspired by a book of the same title published in 1944 and edited by Ellery Queen. Both book & exhibit celebrate an ever-expanding universe of Holmesian parodies & pastiches fashioned by a broad spectrum of creative people in a variety of formats & languages. We hope you enjoy this “roomy” stroll through a world that began in Victorian England & is now found in cyberspace. Welcome to our little Sherlockian misadventure! ELLERY QUEEN ON PARODY & PASTICHE “As a general rule writers of pastiches retain the sacred and inviolate form Sherlock Holmes and rightfully, since a pastiche is a serious and sincere imitation in the exact manner of the original author. But writers of parodies, which are humorous or satirical take-offs, have no such reverent scruples. They usually strive for the weirdest possible distortions and it must be admitted that many highly ingenious travesties have been conceived. Fortunately or unfortunately, depending on how much of a purist one is, the name Sherlock Holmes is peculiarly susceptible to the twistings and misshapenings of burlesque-minded authors.” THE “BIG BANG” Since 1887, in almost cosmic fashion, nearly every medium & format has been employed in creating Sherlockian parodies & pastiches. Starting from the original sixty canonical tales, authors & artists of every stripe—detective story writers, famous literary figures, humorists, devotees & fans—created a “host of aliases” for Mr.

M\ solution to the dilemma was to provide a timeline of popular ¿c- tion following the Industrial Revolution and leading up to the pulps. I wanted to discuss the cultural and social dynamics of the invention and evolution of popular ¿ction over a period of approximately years in both England and the United States, being sure to cover such topics as social class, education, the rise of the city, and printing technology as important elements of the discussion. I also wanted to cover the historical sequence of working-class ven- ues for popular ¿ction that led to the creation of the pulp maga]ines in general and Weird Tales speci¿cally. It is important for the contempo- rary reader to understand that historical sequence and to realize that publications such as Weird Tales did not spring fully grown onto the newsstand without an extended lineage. Beginning with the story pa- pers and penny dreadfuls and leading up to the dime novels and early decades of the pulps, each iteration of working-class popular ¿ction was essential in leading to the conception of the next iteration.
